Surrogacy is global — love knows no borders. But laws do.
For intended parents living outside the U.S. or Canada, it’s crucial to understand the rules surrounding citizenship, documentation, and recognition of parentage.
Common Legal Challenges International Parents Face
- Delayed birth certificate issuance
- DNA testing for citizenship
- Travel restrictions for newborns
- Visa or passport processing delays
